“Lovely food and staff really enjoyed my full English veggie breakfast ..super impressed definitely visiting again..and the had my favourite brown sauce a must for me”

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“I can honestly say this school feels like a second home. From the very first day, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the teachers made it easy to settle in. They really care, not just about grades, but about each student as a person. What I appreciate most is the sense of community – you don’t just come here to learn, you also feel supported, listened to, and encouraged to grow. It’s a place where children can learn home from home. The classrooms are bright and full of energy, and there’s always someone ready to help if you’re struggling. The school brings families together too, with events and activities that make you feel like you belong to something bigger. Whether it’s academics, creativity, or just finding your confidence, this school gives every student the chance to shine. It’s more than just a school – it’s a community. Anna was amazing helping us all the way through. Thank you”

“Swing north is a fun and friendly place to go to learn to swing dance and meet new people. It is brilliantly run, totally inclusive, with new fun lessons and events being introduced regularly! A fantastic community of kind and musical people. A joy to be part of!”

“I attended the Monday acting class at mindful acting last week. I was extremely impressed by the whole class, from the teacher to the friendly, welcoming and supportive vibe. Unfortunately as I don't live in Manchester I can't attend every week, but I will definitely be back again and would recommend to all actors and aspiring actors. Thanks, Christopher Heyworth-Hill”

“I have done Act4TV since I was 11 years old. Since coming back as an adult I love it just as much as I did back then! The classes are unique and energetic and really helpful! Joe gives some brilliant advice that has helped me an awful lot. I’d recommend Act4TV to anyone :)”

“Can't recommend enough this baby sensory! Becky has been amazing in every aspect. My baby started when she was three months old . This week we had her 1 year old birthday party in the sensory area and it has been so great! Thank you for all the precious memories ❤️”

“I was referred to Aoiffe as part of my recovery from injuries with a focus on the mental impact caused by injuries. Can’t speak highly enough of the impact that the sessions had for me with regards to the mental side of injury management and prevention, as well as the day to day life benefits.”

“Myself and my partner have been going to Susi's yoga class for a couple of months. We are complete beginners. The class is very relaxed and, informal, and Susi is great at giving instruction so you can follow her. She has a lovely calming presence and makes everyone feel welcome. I'm really impressed with her knowledge and skill of yoga. It has helped me sleep better too.”

“We where looking for an outside brake tester to replace our old one. After googling firms we found MRB. They where highly responsive and Alan was quick to come out for a chat with us. Everything was explained to us. Pros/cons.. next steps. Once all paper work was completed and parts delivered. They came out to dig and fit the new brake tester. The work was completed smoothly and without any problems. Very friendly staff. Highly capable of doing the job. Mike- the owner came out to check on several occasions to see all was okay and to check we where happy with the work they had done for us. We where made aware that any problems we could ring them whenever. All technical details where explained to us by Joe- how to use the tablet, the brake tester. Nothing was too much for them. MRB are a fantastic firm. They have been there for advice and teething difficulties we may have had. I highly recommend them. Aimée - Office Manager at DBS Car and Commercial Repairs LTD (Blackrod)”

“Ordered a pastel pink and white hatbox for my sister’s birthday. The delivery was excellent and the flowers were so beautiful. My sister was absolutely thrilled and so am I!”

“Unreal trim from Director Tom. Came in with long, wavy hair that was a mess, split ends, no shape, beard all over the place. Tom sectioned everything like a pro, cleaned it up without losing too much the length, and gave me a slick back that actually works with my natural wave. Nailed the beard, Straight top line, shaped to my face, no dips, no fuss. First time at a proper men’s salon and I’m honestly blown away. Tom didn’t just cut, he fixed it. Left feeling fresh, sharp, and confident. Will definitely be returning.”

“Brilliant! Both my children attend classes with Adam and they LOVE it! Adam is a fantastic coach. The sessions are varied and interesting. The children are always smiling and coming here has definitely boosted their confidence. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve been with Thomas & Co Ltd for over one year, as I’m a sole trader. I immediately noticed a difference of service, compared to my previous accountant service. Daniel Harris has been exceptional. A highly competent individual, who has saved me hundreds on my tax return. Our quarterly reviews are very helpful. Even between our meetings, Daniel is very attentive to my questions or queries. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Quality > quantity.”

“Can't reccomeded this place enough. Craig was fantastic! Did a perfect job!”

“Absolutely brilliant experience. Had my car broken into over the bank holiday weekend. Was able to call and get a quote on a Sunday which I was very pleased with, also very competitive on price and understanding of the stressful situation. Work has been completed and technician Daniel did a fantastic job. He was really friendly and personable. The communication I received during my order process was also brilliant. Their order tracking website is really good and their customer service staff are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.”

“Jamie was Amazing, very professional great teacher, we have learnt a lot on the Colour course I would definitely recommend”

“Was stuck on a job and needed a unusual fitting for mains water supply. Went to another plumbing shop which was nearest to me and was given the wrong fitting even after bringing a piece of pipe with. Came to this plumbing shop and he knew right away what type of adapter I would need. Very knowledgeable here and saved my skin on a Friday afternoon. Very grateful.”

“We really appreciated being welcomed in to watch a training session. The facilities are great – clean, well-organized, and clearly run with professionalism and passion. Thank you for the hospitality!”

“Always enjoy my classes at Act up North and feel I have learnt somthing new every time. Teachers are great and the effort they put into the showreals also are excellent.. Ive been with Act up North for over three years and intend to keep going. Safe fun place to be.. :)”

“Great service! I went to two other shops on the same road who couldn’t repair my bangle, but the gentleman here fixed it within 20 minutes. I was so pleased that I also ordered a gold name necklace, as the price was the best I’d found. Highly recommend.”

“Lee is a really good mechanic. Will always sort problems out and wont rip you off either”

“The car had a broken suspension spring. Rang Mark, he did the repair the same day. Excellent service.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Lloyds Autobody in Wythenshawe. The service I received recently was outstanding; Lee and the team are amazing at what they do and so knowledgeable, as well as warm, kind and friendly! The atmosphere is really relaxed, nothing is too much trouble and everyone has a cracking sense of humour too. The whole experience was seamless from start to finish, I was kept informed throughout and my car looks like it is fresh out of the showroom - immaculate like nothing has happened! Thank you so much :)!”

“Great place, good opening times, parking OK, staff are friendly, good prices and quality.”

“I went there last night and I had a great time. Miranda Parker, who I worked with for Factory International last year and worked with her on Anton Benson's production of Aladdin at Queen Elizabeth hall last year. I have a Master's in Writing for Stage and Screen, and if anyone one to get involved they are doing 25 days of Oldham project in which you can make a short film, play, or poem and it will be shown a Shaw theatre before Christmas. So if you want to get involved in the industry here is a good start.”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“My son enjoys attending the drama lessons. It has boosted his self confidence and the staff are courteous, professional and caring.”

“Thank you Keith for making my bespoke bangle. I wasn't really sure how I wanted it to look and left the design up to you and WOW! I'm so glad I did, it's absolutely stunning and very sparkly.”
